Cathleen D. Cahill is the Walter L. Ferree and Helen P. Ferree Professor in Middle-American History at Penn State University. Her research focuses on women’s labor and political activism. She is the author of two books, Federal Fathers & Mothers: A Social History of the US Indian Service, 1869-1933 (University of North Carolina Press, 2011) and Recasting the Vote: How Women of Color Transformed the Suffrage Movement (UNC Press 2020).
